Ww Friendly Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil (I think this can probably be skipped and lower the points of this dish)
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped (I used a red bell pepper because that is what I had on hand, the original recipe specifies a yellow )
1 tablespoon chili powder (you may need more chili powder for chili with more heat, see note in description)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
1 (15 ounce) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or use the corn as I did, see note in description)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (see note in description)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
2 scallions, sliced (optional)

Preparation

In a large pot or dutch oven heat oil over medium high heat.
Add beef and cook until browned (3-5 minutes).
Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, chili powder and cumin; cook until vegetables are soft (3-5 minutes).
Stir in tomatoes and beans (see my changes in the description), and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chili is thickened (15-20 minutes).
Serve topped with sour cream and scallions, if desired.
